The right side of this work was far less detailed than the left, which was meant to be viewed while standing over a pool. This work, the subject of a painting by Juan Carlos Rogers, originally stood on a curving, beaklike pedestal of gray Lartian marble. A treatise penned by F.T. Marinetti asserts that "a roaring car that seems to ride on grape shot" is more beautiful than this work, which was discovered in 1863 by Charles Champoiseau. Originally a gift from the people of Rhodes that formed part of the Megalon Theon complex, this sculpture now stands at the top of the main staircase in the Louvre. The nude body of the title figure can be seen through her transparent wet clothing which billows around her legs. For 10 points, identify this anonymous sculpture that depicts the goddess Nike standing against the wind.
